College Financial Aid Help Events This January

Mark Your Calendar!

Dear parents/guardians of high school seniors:

Now is the time to help your child complete the steps that will help him or her prepare for education after high school.  The Texas state financial aid priority deadline is January 15th, and correctly completing the application process prior to this date will help ensure that your child receives the greatest amount of college funding for which he or she qualifies.

If your child and you have not yet submitted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA), please join attend one of the events listed below this January.  We will have a team from a local university present to guide parents and high school seniors through the financial aid applications.
